This page shows 495 of the 606 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 606 words, 0.4% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. Every word here has 7 letters, and they average 7 letters by construction — so the interesting differences are in which letters they use. Of the 16 lists in this group it is the third largest: “6 letter words with A” leads with 6,569 and “4 letter words with Q” has the fewest, 16. 1 word that would also fit was left out by this site's blocklist of slurs and explicit words.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 18.9 points (median 18); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 12.5, so this list runs 6.4 points richer. The top scorers are ZYZZYVA (38), JAZZILY (34), PIZAZZY (33), JAZZING (32). Point for point, ZYZZYVA earns the most per letter: 38 points over 7 letters, 5.4 each. Z itself is worth 8 points here, which is why so many of these words outscore their length.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 38.3% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 80 words are more than half vowels.

How the words are built

Z opens 125 words (20.6%), closes 9 and sits inside the other 472. 98 words use it more than once, such as AZOTIZE, BEZZANT, BUZZARD and BUZZERS. 176 words have a doubled letter (29%); the most common doubles are ZZ (89), OO (30), EE (19). The most common three-letter openings are ZIN- (18, as in ZINCATE), BEN- (9, as in BENZENE), FRI- (9, as in FRIEZES). The most common endings are -IZE (40, as in AGATIZE), -ING (33, as in AMAZING), -ZES (33, as in AGNIZES). 32.5% end in a single S — mostly plurals and verb forms of shorter words.

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is APPRIZE and ZAPPIER — 2 words from the same 7 letters. Altogether 13 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 26 words. ALCAZAR is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of BAZAARS.

33.8% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (AGATIZE, AGENIZE and AGONIZE among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 57 words. At the front, C turns 4 words into new ones (HAZANIM → CHAZANIM); L turns 4 words into new ones (AZURITE → LAZURITE); A turns 2 words into new ones (MAZEDLY → AMAZEDLY).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “contains Z, has 7 letters” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
